On Christmas Day 2005, the LANSDOWNE, in Erie for a failed conversion to a floating restaurant, began taking water and ended up resting on the bottom in 12 feet of water. This photo, taken at 10:40 a.m. 26 December 2005, shows the two sleeper cars on the back of the Lansdowne as they sit partially submerged in Erie harbor.

LANSDOWNE is expected to leave Erie under tow of an unknown tug, bound for Buffalo, sometime after the 15th of June.
